    I went down to Pep Boys and they do offer them in 285/75R16. Here's how it breaks down:
    4 tires @ $138.99 each: $555.96
    Valve stems, mounting, balance, road hazzard warranty, lifetime rotate: $103.88
    OTD (taxes): $710.86
    Rebate for 1 tire ($138.99) = total cost: $571.86

    Well, I took some books that I had lying around and sold them on Amazon.com. I made enough to buy some sliders for the truck. I put some money down and ordered some CBI sliders for my truck. They have about a 6 week lead time so I should have them by the end of February. These are the ones I ordered:

    I'm also painting my badging on my Silver DC. What did you use to remount the badges? Also, did you runt that amp out of the stock stereo?
    Truck looks sick!

    I used epoxy. I tried the tape but it didn't stick well for me.

    The stereo leads go to a JL Audio Cleansweep which then goes to the amp.

    What made you decide on the JL cleansweep? How is the system sounding now? Do you still use your eq controls on the headunit? How much storage space did you lose in the cab from your set-up?

    I went with a cleansweep because I wanted the stock look but better sound for my speakers (levels the output). My truck is parked in a carport so I want prying eyes to move on to other targets.

    It sounds much cleaner than stock. I have a sub that I need to put in though to give it more bass. I Rammatted the doors so the bass was better than before but I still would like more. I use the stock unit for eq levels. I didn't lose much room with the amp mounted on the seat back. It fits back there without having to remove the storage bin and the wires run inside the seat back and out the bottom. The cleansweep is pretty small and fit behind the glovebox (you probably wouldn't know it was there unless I pointed it out to you).
